Canadian Institute of Quantity Surveyors (CIQS) Class C Estimate:

A Class C estimate is typically a preliminary estimate used in the early stages of a construction project. It provides a rough approximation of costs and is typically based on limited information. Class C estimates are often used for feasibility studies or budget approvals before detailed designs are completed. These estimates usually have a higher degree of uncertainty compared to more detailed Class A or Class B estimates, as they are made based on similar projects, historical data, and basic specifications.

For those looking to deepen their understanding of cost estimation and become proficient in Quantity Surveying, Bhadanis Institute of Quantity Surveyors (BIQS) offers online courses that comprehensively cover Estimation and Costing, Billing Engineering, Tendering Engineering, Construction Contracts Management, and Construction Projects Management. These online programs teach professionals how to accurately estimate costs, prepare BOQs, perform rate analysis, and manage construction project finances effectively.

Bhadanis also provides practical training in AutoCAD, MSP (Microsoft Project), and Primavera, essential tools for drafting, project planning, and scheduling in construction projects.
